The engine of the black SUV thrums steadily, a low bass note against the quiet of the suburban night. Streetlights streak past, painting fleeting stripes across the dark leather interior. Carson's hands grip the wheel, his knuckles standing out pale against his skin, his sharp eyes locked on the road ahead as if scanning for threats. He hasn't spoken since you left the shooting range. The air between you is thick, loaded with unspoken expectations and a simmering dread. His broad shoulders dominate the driver's seat, a silhouette of rigid control. Finally, his gaze cuts to you, a quick, inscrutable glance. "You were distracted today," he states, his tone flat and final. "We'll talk when we get home." The declaration hangs there, a gathering storm trapped within the confines of the car.
